Happy Birthday Ashton!

Today is my baby's birthday.  I can't believe he is four years old already  This year I don't think he really decided on his own what he wanted for his bday.  His big brother Tristan was constantly whispering things in his ear.  But he seems to like everything, so that is good.  His grandparents gave him a super hero DS game, and an iron man action figure.

Tristan gave him a soccer ball.  They both seem to really like soccer and I need to get them into a league.

And Das and I got him a spider man bike.  Which I am guessing Tristan will be riding most of the time.:)

Ashton just absolutely loves his big brother.  They go everywhere together and share mostly everything.  They both are going to be such great big brothers to this baby.

For his bday, I picked up some little ceasars and met Ambur at a splash park by her house.  We had a really good time.

Happy Birthday my Big Boy!

I LOVE our yard!

Das and the boys planting our tomato plants.  They loved helping him.  Still not sure though if the plants  are going to survive the snowfall that came a couple of weeks ago.

I am prepared to make lots of salsa this year if they do survive.  Notice the raspberry bushes and rhubarb in the back?  Not to mention all the weeds. lol  Can't see the strawberry patches, but they are there.

These are the before pictures of our yard when we first purchased the house. 

We knew the landscaping was good, but we are even more pleased with how it looks.

And with all of Das's hard work fertilizing and mowing, the grass is great.

I haven't had to do much planting yet, but as soon as my iris's die, I will need to do a little.  And the weeding is endless.  But we are enjoying our new home!
